ABSTRACT

Introducción y objetivos: Los pacientes mayores con vejiga hiperactiva bajo tratamiento antimuscarínico son especialmente susceptibles al deterioro cognitivo. El objetivo fue evaluar los cambios a corto plazo en la función cognitiva de pacientes de edad avanzada con vejiga hiperactiva tratados con oxibutinina transdérmica. Materiales y métodos: Estudio observacional retrospectivo multicéntrico en pacientes entre 65 y 80 años de edad, con vejiga hiperactiva, que reciben tratamiento con oxibutinina transdérmica. Antes y después de un mes de tratamiento, se evaluó la función cognitiva mediante el test de alteración de memoria y el test del dibujo del reloj, los cambios en los síntomas con cuestionarios validados, la percepción del paciente ante su respuesta al tratamiento utilizando la escala de beneficio del tratamiento y la adherencia al tratamiento con el test de Morisky-Green modificado. Resultados: De 85 pacientes elegibles, 70 completaron la evaluación (promedio de edad: 71,4 ± 4,5; IMC: 28,7 ± 3,1 kg/m2). No se observó deterioro cognitivo tras un mes de tratamiento con oxibutinina transdérmica: Test de alteración de memoria (+1 punto; IC 95%: 0-1,5), test del dibujo del reloj (0 puntos; IC 95%: 0-0). Se observó una mejoría estadísticamente significativa (p < 0,001) en todos los síntomas de almacenamiento urinario, excepto en la incontinencia de esfuerzo. Hubo una mejora en el cuestionario de autoevaluación de control de la vejiga (grado de los síntomas: -2,27; IC 95%: -2,8, -1,7; p < 0,001; grado de molestias: -2,73; IC 95%: -3,3, -2,1; p < 0,001). El 70% de los pacientes informaron una condición de vejiga estable o mejorada según el cuestionario de Percepción de la Condición de la Vejiga del Paciente. El 72,8% de los pacientes informó que sus problemas urinarios habían mejorado o mejorado notablemente con un 84,3% de adherencia al tratamiento. Conclusiones: No se observó deterioro cognitivo en pacientes de edad avanzada tras de un mes de tratamiento con oxibutinina transdérmica. Los síntomas de incontinencia urinaria mejoraron y hubo una adecuada adherencia al tratamiento


Introduction and objectives: Older patients with overactive bladder under antimuscarinic treatment are especially susceptible to cognitive impairment. The aim was to assess short term changes in cognitive function in elderly patients with overactive bladder treated with transdermal oxybutynin. Materials and methods: Observational, retrospective, multicentre study in patients with overactive bladder aged 65-80 years undergoing treatment with transdermal oxybutynin. Before and after one month of treatment, cognitive function using the Memory Alteration Test and Clock-Drawing Test, changes in symptoms with validated questionnaires, patient perception of treatment response using Treatment Benefit Scale and treatment adherence with the modified Morisky-Green test, were assessed. Results: From 85 eligible patients, 70 completed the assessment (mean age: 71.4 ± 4.5; BMI: 28.7 ± 3.1 kg/m2). No cognitive impairment was observed after one month with transdermal oxybutynin: Memory Alteration Test (+1 point; 95%CI: 0.0-1.5), Clock-Drawing Test (0 points; 95%CI: 0.0-0.0). A statistically significant improvement (p < 0.001) was observed in all urinary storage symptoms, except stress urinary incontinence. There was an improvement in the Bladder Control Self-Assessment Questionnaire (symptom score: -2.27; 95%CI: -2.8, -1.7; p < 0.001; bother score: -2.73; 95%CI: -3.3, -2.1; p < 0.001). 70% of patients reported either a stable or improved bladder condition according to the Patient Perception of Bladder Condition questionnaire. 72.8% of patients reported that their urinary problems had improved or greatly improved with an 84.3% treatment adherence. Conclusions: No cognitive impairment was observed in elderly patients after one month of treatment with transdermal oxybutynin; urinary urgency symptoms improved and there was adequate treatment adherence

ABSTRACT

En 1914 el infierno se afloró en Europa y se extendió a una buena parte del mundo. La capacidad destructiva del hombre para con el hombre llegó a niveles insospechados. Centenares de miles de bajas precisaban atención sanitaria urgente en cada campaña. Esta enorme demanda hizo que en apenas cinco años la Medicina avanzara lo que en otra situación hubiera necesitado muchas décadas. El tratamiento quirúrgico de las heridas, el tratamiento protésico, la cirugía plástica, la radiología y la anestesia fueron los campos donde se avanzó más. Sin embargo, probablemente uno de los mayores hitos alcanzados en este periodo, y seguramente uno de los de más trascendencia, fue el desarrollo de la terapia transfusional. En pocos años pasó de ser una técnica de «científicos extraños» a ser una herramienta terapéutica indispensable. Aquí se describe el camino hacia la consecución y sus protagonistas


In 1914, hell broke out in Europe and spread to much of the world. The destructive capacity of man against man reached unsuspected levels. Hundreds of thousands of casualties needed urgent health care in each campaign. This enormous demand meant that in just five years, medicine would advance what in another situation would have needed many decades. Surgical treatment of wounds, orthopedic treatment, plastic surgery, radiology and anesthesia were the fields where more progress was made. However, probably one of the major milestones reached in this period of time, and certainly one of the most transcendent, was the development of blood transfusion. In a few years it went from being a technique of "strange scientists" to become essential. Here we describe the path to achievement and its main characters

ABSTRACT

La aparición de la máquina de vapor había hecho realidad el sueño de navegar sin depender de las fuerzas de la naturaleza. La carrera por lograr un vapor comercial eficiente había comenzado. Con retraso por la Guerra de la Independencia, España se incorporó a la carrera. Entre los primeros vapores comerciales estaba el vapor «Cid». En 1859, en la Guerra de África, ante la necesidad de una evacuación regular de bajas se designa al «Cid» como buque hospital, fue la primera vez en el mundo que se usó un vapor hospital. El Dr. Nicasio Landa fue el responsable de realizar la misión con una organización moderna, eficaz y ejemplar. Pronto los vapores de ruedas perdieron su batalla con los de hélice y el «Cid» quedó obsoleto. Sin embargo, a pesar de su corta vida operativa, poco más de quince años, escribió una importante página en la historia de la navegación en España


The advent of the steam engine had achieved to navigate without relying on the forces of nature. The race to get an efficient commercial had begun. With the delay caused by the Independence War, Spain joined the race. Among the first commercial steamboats was the «Cid». In 1859, in the African War, the need for regular casualties evacuations made the «Cid» to be designated as a hospital ship, the first hospital steamship in the world. Dr. Nicasio Landa was responsible for carrying out the mission with a modern, efficient and exemplary organization. Soon paddle steamers lost their battle against screw steamers and «Cid» became obsolete. However, despite its short operational life, little more than fifteen years, it wrote an important page in the History of sailing in Spain

ABSTRACT

Cystic lesions at the midline of the prostate are uncommon and they are considered as congenital disorders. Is generally accepted that active treatment should be instituted only in symptomatic patients and watchful waiting in asymptomatic ones. The most common active treatment is minimally invasive surgery by puncture-aspiration or endoscopic unroofing. We are attaching an inmunosupressed patient because of a renal transplantation in which we provided an active treatment by puncture-aspiration of the cystic lesion in spite of being asymptomatic.

ABSTRACT

Las lesiones quísticas localizadas en la línea media de la próstata son poco frecuentes y se consideran alteraciones congénitas. Se acepta generalmente que el tratamiento activo se realiza sólo a los pacientes sintomáticos, haciendo observación a los asintomáticos. El tratamiento activo más común es la cirugía mínimamente invasiva por medio de punción-aspiración o la decorticación endoscópica. Aportamos un caso de un paciente inmunosuprimido por un trasplante renal, circunstancia que nos hizo optar por el tratamiento activo con punción aspiración del mismo, a pesar de ser asintomático
